that Ginger had a different pair of shoes? The one she was wearing from the start until the part where the camera moved in for a close-up shot [they were dancing in the elevated platform] had straps. then when ginger did those amazing continuous spins I noticed [since her skirt's up] that the straps were gone and she was wearing a different pair... I know its a pretty silly thing but I just wondered if anyone else noticed it...

Huck: Tanka!
Liz: you're welcome

Yes. I just got through watching it and you're right. I'm guessing it had something to do with there being 47 takes before they finally got it right.

Very perceptive of you.

I watched a documentary once where they said that whilst taking a break from filming the sequence shot on the platform one of the crew noticed that Ginger's shoes were turning pink, her feet were bleeding that badly! So i'm thinking that they prabably had to change her shoes.

I'd never noticed it until someone mentioned it on YouTube.
